* * * ἅγιος ὁ θεός, Γαβριηλ, Μιχαηλ, ποίησον τὸ ἱκανόν μου· μέγα

* Holy is God! Gabriel, Michael, give me satisfaction; great

κύριε ὁ θεός, πατάξον Φιλαδέλφην· καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς,

Lord God, strike Philadelphe; and her children,

κύριε κύριε κύριε ὁ θεός θεό⟦ο⟧ς, πατάξον μετ’ αὐτῆς. ὁ⟦υ⟧

Lord, Lord, Lord God, God, strike [them] along with her. O

[Ἰ]ησοῦς Χριστός, ἐλέησόν με καὶ ἀκούου μου, κύριε.

[J]esus Christ, have mercy on me and hear me, Lord.

Translator's note. ποίησον τὸ ἱκανόν μου, ‘give me satisfaction’, is the idiom for obtaining redress. μέγα at the end of line 1 probably goes with ‘Lord God’ in line 2. Letters the scribe deleted in line 3 (⟦ο⟧, ⟦υ⟧) are left out; the opening * stands as printed.
